सेप्टिक आर्थराइटिस क्या है?
What is Septic Arthritis?
Septic Arthritis एक serious joint infection है जहां bacteria joint के अंदर चला जाता है और infection फैलाता है। यह especially बच्चों में common है और बहुत तेज़ी से progress करता है।
🚨 मेडिकल इमरजेंसी!
6-8 घंटे के अंदर treatment ज़रूरी है! Delay से joint को permanent damage हो सकता है। यह एक true orthopedic emergency है जिसमें immediate action लेना पड़ता है।
बैक्टीरियल इन्फेक्शन
Joint में bacteria enter करके pus (मवाद) जमा करते हैं जो cartilage और bone को damage करता है।
समय अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण
हर घंटे की देरी से permanent damage का risk बढ़ता है। Golden period: पहले 6-8 घंटे।
बच्चे सबसे अधिक प्रभावित
0-5 साल के बच्चों में सबसे ज़्यादा common। Their immune system developing stage में होती है।
जोड़ क्षति का जोखिम
Untreated infection से permanent joint damage, arthritis, और disability हो सकती है।
💡 मुख्य तथ्य
✓ Most common: Knee joint (40-50% cases)
✓ Caused by: Staphylococcus aureus (सबसे common bacteria)
✓ Risk: छोटे बच्चे, weak immune system, recent infection/injury
✓ Treatment: Emergency drainage + IV antibiotics
✓ Recovery: 100% possible with timely treatment!

लक्षण - कैसे पहचानें?
ये signs immediately notice करने चाहिए
Symptoms - How to Recognize?
These signs require immediate attention

निदान कैसे होता है?
How is it Diagnosed?
Dr. Gaurav Jain thorough examination और कई tests से confirm करते हैं:
1. शारीरिक जांच
Joint को carefully check - swelling, redness, warmth, range of motion देखते हैं।
2. ब्लड टेस्ट
WBC count, ESR, CRP levels - infection के markers check करते हैं।
3. जोड़ के तरल पदार्थ का विश्लेषण ⭐
सबसे important! Joint से fluid निकालकर lab में test - bacteria identify करने के लिए।
4. इमेजिंग (एक्स-रे/अल्ट्रासाउंड)
Joint damage देखने और other problems rule out करने के लिए।
5. कल्चर और संवेदनशीलता परीक्षण
कौन सा bacteria है और कौन सी antibiotic काम करेगी - यह पता लगाते हैं।
💡 त्वरित निदान का महत्व
हर घंटे की देरी से joint damage का risk बढ़ता है। इसलिए हम immediately tests शुरू करते हैं। Golden period: पहले 6-8 घंटे!
Dr. Gaurav Jain performs thorough examination and confirmatory tests:
1. Physical Examination
Careful joint assessment - swelling, redness, warmth, range of motion.
2. Blood Tests
WBC count, ESR, CRP levels - checking infection markers.
3. Joint Fluid Analysis ⭐
Most important! Extracting joint fluid for lab testing - to identify bacteria.
4. Imaging (X-ray/Ultrasound)
To assess joint damage and rule out other problems.
5. Culture & Sensitivity
